Canopy Fans Added!
Just another thought....
I also thought about the convenience of the AC fans (no wiring or cutting), but there is another advantage of using the DC fans. By running a pair of DC fans off one AC adapter, you only require one electrical outlet for the adapter and one timer. With AC fans, each will require it's own electrical outlet and timer! (although you could use a multi-outlet extension cord on one timer I suppose), still it's a hassle.
Not to mention the fact that AC fans require more power to run, usually twice as much as comparible-sized DC fans (which means more $$ on your power bill) and sound like airplane propellers in your house, due to the faster rotation and heavier bearings! :eek:
Cost wise they are almost the same. $55-65 for two DC fans and an AC Adapter or $60-70 for two AC fans.
